2026 Fields Undergraduate Summer Research Program
May 31 - July 31, 2026
Description

The Fields Undergraduate Summer Research Program (FUSRP) welcomes carefully selected undergraduate students from around the world for a rich mathematical research experience from June to July.
This competitive initiative matches a group of up to four excellent students with faculty from Fields Principal Sponsoring or Affiliate Universities, visiting scientists, or researchers in industry.
Students accepted for the program will have most of their travel and on-site expenses covered by the Institute. Most of the program's funding supports student expenses. This year, we will have projects at the following locations:
- Fields Institute (Toronto, ON)
- Western University (London, ON)
Goal
To provide a high-quality and enriching mathematics research experience for undergraduates.
The project experience, quality mentorship, and team/independent work are intended to foster enthusiasm for continued research. Students work closely with each other and with their supervisor in a collaborative research team.
FUSRP 2026 is committed to creating an inclusive environment for mathematical research that actively supports and welcomes the participation of underrepresented groups. An equitable, diverse, and inclusive environment enables all scholars to reach their full potential and strengthens the quality and impact of research by bringing together multiple ideas and perspectives.
